Hi Hartmut,
I got the same tuning problems as Patrick. After your patch the Pinnacle
400e is not working anymore. I can get a signal, but no lock at all.
I took a look at the PCB and there is definitely an LNBP21PD soldered
onto it.
Your patch disables the modulation of the 22kHz signal inside the demod
as fas as I understood, but then the LNBP21PD was supposed to generate it.
Unfortunately this is not possible with the Pinnacle 400e. I took a look
at the LNBP21PD datasheet which states, that DSQIN is supposed to be
connected to GND if you don't want the 22kHz signal to be generated by
the LNBP21 itself. Guess what?! Pin 14(DSQIN) is connected to GND.
For the time being I reverted your patch on my local system and the
Pinnacle 400e is working flawlessly again.
